Background[]
It is later revealed that Fujimoto is the guild leader of the Morioka's guild in-game.
Despite his young age, In Episode 5, it is revealed that he knows that Lily is a male playing a female avatar in a PM from Lily.

When Sakurai comes to the convenience store again, Fujimoto brings it up to him about his avatar Lily and Sakurai says he’ll respect the no romance rule in his guild but Fujimoto says he doesn't mind since the no romance rule was just to keep people from harassing other members of the guild (e.g. like how people used to harass Lily).
